My first choice would be a HP all in one ( they sell these cheap ) at least
for scanning ( ink does cost for any ink jet printer ) another note is the
lower end models seems to function pretty well ( now i remember something
about there windows drivers lowering the ability but the linux driver is the
same for them all ) i use one just for scanning , i use a apple 16/600 laser
(cheap for B&W ) for B&W and thinking of getting a phaser for color (prices
are coming down ) one thing i hate about ink jets are the ink drys before
you can use it all and it Costs way to much. ( Biggest scam ever )

for printing black and white get a laser printer ( you will save money )
for printing mass color get a color laser or xerox phaser printer. ( i think
the phaser is cheaper you have to buy the dry ink in 4 colors  and less
parts to replace over a standard color laser and there ppm is full color
pages ) ( also these go from 300-^ hmm maybe even 200+ now ) From what i
have seen lasers have much better quality then Ink jets.
